Probably not, I did mention it before, and it is essentially in the text, so some-one has probably thought of it before.

My conclusion came about from a different angle though.

Drawings of hobbits with pointy eary by Tolkien: Pictures, descriptions of hobbits with pointy ears by Tolkien: Letters, descriptions of hobbits looking like men -- ONLY SHORTER: LotR, the Legolas issue and the relation of stem -Las to leaf shaped: Letters and History , and that hobbits and elves and by extension men (as it is now converging from BOTH sides of comparison), have pointed ears.

Don't remember if I posted my conclusions on Wings here (I really don't think so however).

Will I do it again?
Nope.
Let's just say I agree whole-heartedly with neither camp.
